Hey all! Today I participated in my very first blogfest, and it’s fun! I’m enjoying reading the other entries, so thanks to Christina for hosting! I took the characters from my very first novel and threw them into a rainy day. It was fun to visit them again. Yes, this is the same Ray (now an adult) from my short story Ray the … Read More
A Stranger Sniffed My Hair In A Bar, or, Suffering For Your Art
Hey! Last night I met my writer’s group in a bar like real, live adults. I don’t drink so I usually skip the bar scene, but we were there for a marathon critique and brainstorming session. Not to mention the delicious, delicious bar food. Well, me boyos were late. 45 minutes late, to be exact. When a stranger walked by, … Read More
“Be Mysterious: Writers in Masks” Features Prue Batten
I’ve always been attracted by the idea of painting a persona, be it via cosmetics in the morning, dressing for the day, creating a fantasy world and characters. Or even a masquerade.

I Went on Vacation and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt. And Freckles.
Actually, it wasn’t so much a “vacation” as it was a desperate attempt to flee for our lives. My husband works crazy hours during the summer, and the heat triggers Tiny Daughter’s seizures. I packed up the kidlets and went to my hometown for two weeks, which was amazing. Know how much writing I did? Not a word, except for … Read More
“Be Mysterious: Writers in Masks” Features Jameson T. Caine
Jameson T. Caine first dabbled in writing fiction in elementary school, when in the fourth grade he went beyond the 100 word limit in creative writing, crafting a tale of otherworldly goofiness that involved possessed books, ghostly voices and TV show theme music.
